Exile

5th Edition Homebrew

The GM's plan

This campaign is going to begin with a tutorial of sorts for fifth edition. The players are going to take over the role of (however many people actually attend) characters, each fifth level. The events for this prologue are in the distant past and are the founders for this world. Once this tutorial/backstory is complete and everyone has a feel for the mechanics we’ll go forward with letting the players create their first character. They’ll start at level one with their destiny item (heroic item? Epic item?)
The founding characters may be revisited when it feels like a break is needed or I think of something cool.

The adventure log is where you list the sessions and adventures your party has been on, but for now, we suggest doing a very light “story so far” post. Just give a brief overview of what the party has done up to this point. After each future session, create a new post detailing that night’s adventures.

One final tip: Don’t stress about making your Obsidian Portal campaign look perfect. Instead, just make it work for you and your group. If everyone is having fun, then you’re using Obsidian Portal exactly as it was designed, even if your adventure log isn’t always up to date or your characters don’t all have portrait pictures.
